Don't forget about the KARC monthly meeting this Thursday at 7:30pm at the St. Georges church at the intersection of Royal Ave. and Knox St. in North Kamloops.
The Jan/Feb issue of the The Canadian Amateur drew my attention to a few stories, this one is certainly worth sharing.
A 14 year old high school student, Vanessa Leblond-Drolet, VA2VDL, successfully completed a project to have her school complete an Amateur Radio contact with the astronauts aboard the International Space Station.
This is quite the accomplishment which will leave a lasting impression on her fellow students and the staff members.
I hope some of you have the KARC news items in an RSS reader of some sort, as this reminder is a little late. However, our monthly club meeting is tonight -- hope to see you there!
Congratulations to the club members for generating 103,730 points in the RAC Canada Day Contest 2011 (pictures here), earning them top spot in the province in the Multi Operator Single Transmitter Low Power category!
This was the 3rd highest score in this category overall - well done!
Attached is the RAC certificate issued for this achievement.
Hope you had a good time in the BC QSO Party, certainly look forward to that one again next year.
Just dropping a quick note on the site to say that some pictures I've had waiting to go on the site for some time now have finally been added. They're in the Misc. Archives and Greenstone albums.
If you have other club pictures you'd like added to the site, please don't hesitate to contact me.
In the off chance you haven't heard yet, the BC QSO Party is tomorrow - Feb. 4, 2012 from 8-8 local time.
We hope you'll consider participating - all the information is at the location linked above, and if you have any questions about it, you may want to contact the Orca DXCC, they're very helpful.
On behalf of the Kamloops Amateur Radio Club we'd like to wish you and yours a Merry Christmas and a happy new year! We look forward to seeing you at the January club meeting!
